Dutch jail system

Since jails in France are seriously overcrowded, the French broadcaster France 2 want to find out why the Dutch jails are getting emptier and emptier. Over the last years many prisons were closed and some even say that there are even more guards than prisoners in the Netherlands. Also the Dutch Lower House wants to know why are so little prisoners in Dutch jails. They asked the responsible minister to come with an explanation. In June or July the minister will write a letter to the Dutch parliament with some clear explanations.
